Im not a hipster, douchebag. Ive started 2 businesses, one of which failed but I picked up the pieces and started again. Ive provided jobs for other people. What exactly have you done? I wasnt starting this thread to bag on a generation but instead admire a cool decade.

Sorry if I dont pretend that the past 10 years have been sunshine and roses. They havent been.

Although I don't necessarily think you're a hipster, owning a business and providing jobs doesn't make you not a hipster.

The music of the '80s had to grow on me, but I think music is up-and-down and is more or less the same today. In fact, elements of the '80s have come back in a big way with fashion and music. The synth-y part of '80s music, that is.

Television and video games are better than ever before, and are probably only going to get better. I realize my predilection for older games is purely nostalgia, as I don't have as much time to play games anymore and feel guilty when I do. The only thing I think is truly worse are movies. There is zero originality in movies anymore, and I've long grown weary of how remake-happy we've become. The "summer blockbuster" season is basically January 1 - December 31 for shitty Michael Bay and Roland Emmerich movies. Count me out.
